On the shoulders of Ed Espie Brown What an exciting time of change, rife with potential. Make no mistake; the Food Revolution is happening all around us. Daily I receive emails from organizations that mobilize and rally against Monsanto’s powerful undertow ,from those that are working to reform our broken food system, and from places […]

The truth about how to live healthier NOW in America. What a month of food news and food articles. In the span of 4 weeks time we’ve read that: the famous olive oil laden Mediterranean diet will keep us heart healthier, though not pounds lighter; the American processed food industry has been scientifically formulating its […]

Call me Tevye. On the one hand… I can say that Organic Consumers Association was being opportunistic by broadcasting their message – COOK ORGANIC NOT THE PLANET – at the “Forward on Climate Rally” to stop the Keystone pipeline held this past Sunday in Washington, D.C. It was, after all, the largest non-nuclear pro-environment march […]

It’s a new year, and with that often comes…the food and lifestyle resolutions. Well, it’s fifteen days into 2013 and I’m wondering if you are haunted yet by the words “I should” …? Research tells us that creating a new habit takes 21 days to congeal, so perhaps this article comes while you’re still in […]

On Monday morning, 9/17, I went to New York City with sign in hand to stand with others in solidarity against the use of unsafe GMO technology and the horrific practices of its most powerful progenitor – Monsanto. My destination: Times Square, in front of Good Morning America’s studio. Flip Side: For months, either Occupy […]

Mid August…sigh. Today’s a rainy day with cooler weather and I’m home on a stay-cation this week. I’m feeling that summer’s wave has long crested and I’m on that inevitable slow coast back to the shore called September. Not exactly high energy, yet I do have a GoodFoodWorld article to write. And while I am […]

Wisdom garnered from the tradition of slow cooking. There is wisdom in this traditional method. It isn’t rocket science to understand, but like all truths, it is profound once you “get it”. This slow method of making Ratatouille is intimate and deeply loving. Why? Because it requires time, presence, and patience. Via this […]

Last Thursday evening I attended a GMO panel discussion at CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College calledGMOs and Eco-labels: Getting More of the Story. Four distinguished panelists shared their knowledge from the front lines in battle against both Monsanto and the FDA about consumer right to know. I was left with an […]

Continuum Living welcomes everyone, regardless of lifestyle, culture, economics, exposure, and dietary preferences. There is no one right diet-style for everyone (vegetarian vs. vegan, vs. omnivore/flexitarian, etc.), and we have varying entry points. When you apply the continuum of wellness to your own lifestyle, it will naturally evolve towards the healthier side of the continuum.
